NAME

       scancode_to_ascii  -  Converts  a scancode to an ASCII character. Allegro game programming
       library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int scancode_to_ascii(int scancode);

DESCRIPTION

       Converts the given scancode to an ASCII character for that key (mangling Unicode  values),
       returning  the unshifted uncapslocked result of pressing the key, or zero if the key isn't
       a character-generating key or the lookup can't be done. The lookup cannot be done for keys
       like  the  F1-F12  keys  or the cursor keys, and some drivers will only return approximate
       values. Generally, if you want to display the name of a key to the user,  you  should  use
       the scancode_to_name function.

       Example:

          int ascii;
          ...
          ascii = scancode_to_ascii(scancode);
          allegro_message("You pressed '%c'\n", ascii);
